Who can cook satvik food
Hello nice people..I am back after a long break.Today I was just thinking what I must write for my this post...So the very basic thought came in my mind was food..
There is a old proverb: ''You are what you eat''
There must have been some thought before some one made this line.Today so much is been talked about food,every where we have food,in super markets,in big malls,road side,small shops..its all around.It has to be as food is energy..
Food blogs,food cooking classes, food cooking shows on T.V
BUT
Are we eating healthy?
What is healthy food by the way??
how can we eat healthy food?
Going back behind centuries.... stone age man had no idea of cooked food..All he did was hunted and ate raw..as human became more grossed and settled in a place the idea of fire arose..to keep themself warm..thus the idea might have been derieved from there to cook the food and consume..
I won't go into the detailed history from stone age and how man became civilized..because we all know it all. :)
Fire according to hindu mythology is very sacred,it is life..as commonly known it is hot and can keeps us warm..So fire is important. we have our life, food cooked on fire so the food and the fire both are important..where am I going with this..!!Food is considered as sacred too.so we, in hindu system offer food to GOD before we consume it,
Anna brahma, as it is called.because brahma is the creator of this universe that is life giver.
so as food is life giver as well..we can not survive with out,If something is life giving, we should be more careful on how we use it and save it further.
So here I come with another topic Who can cook Satvik food.
Usually it is the women at home. we cook and take care of the family's need.So we ladies are more important to understand what an important job we are doing..feeding food is feeding mind,feeding the future..there we get the idea of how the food should be cooked..!!
According to our the gunas as we call, there is a classification with three different types.SATTVA,R AJAS AND TAMAS..These qualities are in every human, and every human can time to time can be changed from sattva to tamas, tamas to rajas, sattva rajas or vice versa.
SATTVA is pious, quiet, and calm.
RAJAS is full of action.
TAMAS inactions may be drowsy or angry hatred filled.
The person who cooks food has a very vital role here as he or she imbibes these qualities according to the food which is been prepared.
What we think we become.While we cook whatever we are thinking the person who would eat that food will surely take those qualities.
for example, if we cook with anger and hatred, we will pass the same energy to the person who is eating that food.
This makes me think and say that the food we cook with a calm mind, can give us good health mentally and physically.
